Everything checked out fine today during my service/maintenance with my 8K service. The tech noted that there was no abnormalities that I had listed so everything seemed fine. The guy who rang me up told me that he was the same as me and notices things that I had noticed on the list, so I don't think I was going crazy.

The exhaust he said, as I guessed might be the problem (but none really for me) is that the exhaust is running too rich so he suggested that in the future, I look into a power commander to optimize everything...but I don't want one until I get ALL my mods done because I don't want to spend money everytime I get a mod just to get my bike dynoed and remapped.

A few other things they said about my bike but nothing I can't do with a lil money =]

 

my mid pipe on my two brothers is just as close as yours. It actually dented it a little i guess because of a road bump or something. I think you can rotate the canister a little if you loosen the 4 bolts that hold it onto the mid pipe and just turn the canister to where it should be and re tighten.

 

Naw I tried but the hinge holding the canister to the footpeg can be bent but I don't want to try anything with it. The angle of the canister doesn't me but like I said, it's just something I notice. The tech guys said it not detrimental to the performance of my bike so it's ok haha
